LAWRENCEBURG, Ind. — Several crews were on scene for hours working a fire that started near the railroad tracks in Lawrenceburg late Sunday evening.
The fire started at approximately 11:50 p.m. in the 200 block of AEP Drive.
The Lawrenceburg fire chief said the fire has been put out and the Indiana Department of Environmental Management went to look at the scene.
The chief said several crossties — the wooden boards supporting railroad tracks — caught fire.
Officials had to stop some trains but said it is not currently impacting them. The fire chief said the fire was not directly on the tracks.
There were heavy flames overnight near the tracks. Our crew on the scene Monday morning said the fire was not as active at approximately 6 a.m. but it was still burning.
No one was hurt, officials said.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
